Background:
It is recognised that there is a considerable amount of research
and innovation occurring to improve the many diverse aspects which
contribute to level crossing safety improvements.
Objective:
This work will provide a valuable resource for the industry and
key partners (including government, road, rail and transport
agencies). It will also provide a basis for identifying further
research opportunities.
Project
scope:
This project will undertake a literature review into issues
associated with level crossing crashes and collate each into
logical groups, summarise potential for the existing work and
identify gaps where more research and/or development is worthy of
additional effort.
Benefits:
This work will provide a valuable resource for the industry and
key partners including government, road, rail and transport
agencies. It will also provide a basis for identifying further
research opportunities.
Expected outcomes:
A review of the existing literature and emerging approaches
towards level crossing safety. The results will include brief
summaries of research within a logical framework with comments on
potential applicability to the Australian rail industry.
